After being plagued with this problem for a long time, the answer actually turned out to be simple. Exactly as Mista found and after I replaced both sensors, still this exact same gauge problem persisted. Even bought a second hand cluster from the wreckers and fitted it. Same problem. Then I found this simple procedure to re-calibrate the fuel gauge and finally fixed!!! Follow this. Hold the odo button down and turn the ignition on. Wait 2 seconds, then press the odo button 3 times within 5 seconds holding button in after 3rd press. Turn ignition off. Turn the ignition on and voila!!! Gauge reading perfectly. Will see if this holds.
I had this problem with my 2006 xtrail extreme. Fuel reading was always off. Brought it to my local nissan they said that the feul sensors needed to get replaced, did the work and still didn't read the right amount of fuel. After 4 visits they ended up changing the guages and its now working good as new
Wanted to get an idea of the job before taking out my fuel level senders to check them (guage often reads correctly until tank is half full, then suddenly starts reading empty most of the time). I suspect damage to the sender units caused when a garage had to drop my fuel tank to replace the tank retainers. This video does a good job of showing what you will see when removing the fuel level senders. I'm grateful, as now I am prepared.
@@jordanlewis1163 took out and cleaned the sender units, checked the wiring was good, gave everything a good cleaning with an electrical contact cleaner, and put them back. Fuel gauge is now working much better. I had a garage replace the rusted through low pressure pick up pump, and they had to drop the fuel tank from the chassis. That was when it started reading wrong. There wasn't any visible damage, so I'm thinking that they either messed up the balance on the float when putting it all back together, or there was some contaminant on the contacts inside the sender unit that was stopping the unit movement - based on the fact that when it was faulty but under half full, it would read correctly occasionally. Worth saying: be careful of any plastic clips inside the unit, particularly those that hold the pick up pump and float mechanism. The fuel will have made these more brittle than regular plastic. If you have not got the proper unit removal wrench (I haven't) you can use a socket wrench bit and a hammer to spin the unit retainer rings, just make sure you mark a point across the ring and the unit so that you can tighten them back correctly. I did this with a lot of fuel in the tank, would have been easier with much less fuel! With care you can get the units out with spilling lots of fuel everywhere, but have a catch pan to catch the fuel that will be in the pick up pump, and will run off the float mechanism.
No seas malo amigo pásame el diagrama estoy desesperado compré. Motor y ecu sin tacómetro y mi tacómetro es de 2 entradas y el qué vino es de tres te agradeceré mucho y seré tu fiel seguidor. Gracias
hello sir I just asked for my fuel gauge when my gas tank is full but in my fuel gauge dashboard it doesn't fill up, it's in the second line before it reaches full, but many people say it's a floater? you sir what do you think? thanks for the response sir.
@@kaneunmaskedal When you say gauges? Do you mean the instrument cluster , the clocks in front of the steering wheel? I have the same issue and have cleaned up the senders a bunch and still it's not working properly. :)

you push odo/trip button? on xtrail T30?
Work on t30?

that was one of the best explanations I've seen. thank you
Shame you didn't do the resistance test just to show how to do it.

I am currently having this issue. How did you go?

Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge. My guage lost precision when the gas tank is full... your video will help me ;)
Mine can't be trusted below 1/2 tank. I broke down without fuel and my gauge still reported 1/3 full
Clear like anything.
Thank you
Really informative. Cheers 👍👍👍
Thank you for sharing your experience, one question, could you tell us what year is the Xtrail that you extract the floats, greetings from Chile!
awesome cheers for the help Bro!!!!!
Hi, this floating parts separate available from shop?
awesome video already subscribe bring more of these xtrail t30 video. from Embu Kenya.

I have a trail 2012 but can't find the petrol floatin Cape Town South Africa. Any advice or help pls
Are you sorted? im having the same issue with our 2011 xtrail its just allways reading full

I would check the fuel sensors and if need be replace all the guages worked for me

@@Chrischucas yes the cluster of all the guages on the center of the dash. Replace that whole unit and it should fix your fuel reading
@@kaneunmaskedal That's expensive to replace compared to the fuel senders, isn't it?
@gerardreches it can be. Though my car is having the problem again so now im gonna buy a set of new fuel float and sending unit
Hi bro, how do I get in touch with you?
???
Where is your garage?
Did more cleaning than the actual work
Skip bits why don't you
